jquery.couch.js not working with current jquery

I'm new to couchdb and trying to integrate it into a new app.

After lots of searching around, found the jquery.couch.js file in the distribution (jqcouch some up on the jquery site -- finding jquery.couch.js was not quick), I tried it only to find that it doesn't work with current versions of jquery.

Also tough to find was that the internal jquery.httpData() was removed at about 1.3/1.4 -- but it is used in jquery.couch.js. Even getting that put in, still getting an error on just trying to get the config for an installation.

Am I missing something or a version of jquery.couch.js?
